Guest: Allan Woods, global and national affairs reporter

While facing federal investigations for trying to overthrow the 2020 U.S. election results and inspiring a riot at Capitol Hill, former president Donald Trump has announced he wants to run for president again. His third attempt for power comes in the wake of an underwhelming midterm display for the Republican party and a moment of reckoning on whether to roll out the red carpet for a candidate whose refusal to accept defeat in 2020 pushed American democracy to the edge. Looking toward Florida governor Ron DeSantis and former vice-president Mike Pence, there are also new players in the game. The Star’s Allan Woods breaks down the implications.
